I just tried the Body Fortress Cookies and Creme and I just threw up!  It's horrible!  Have you tried it?

I started out trying Body Fortress from Wal-Mart because it is cheap and easily available. I've never tried anything else because I can live with Body Fortress if I stick to chocolate only.

About the nectars...before surgery I loved almost all of them, after surgery I couldnt choke doan ANY of them. Now at 8 months out I LOVE the fuzzy navel, twisted cherry and carribean cooler. The other flavors I can live off of, except the lemonade, still hate it.

The point is I have learned that what I like now will change next month as I change. I still love the matrix, but the hocolate flavors were my favs for months and now the orange cream and mint cookie is. Im not tossing out the chocolate just saving it for when I change again, because it will happen.

Besides click, I never found another shake that I LOVED.  Some, tolerable... none great. 

I supplement with a power crunch bar a day -- peanut butter creme is my favorite.  Vanilla is good too.... I'm not into chocolate anymore, but if you like it, those are probably good too.

My Nut wanted me off protein shakes by the time I was 6 weeks out, so I use other high-protein items during meal prep -- greek yogurt, cheese, fish, beans.  It took time, but I do meet the minimum 60 with meals & my single power crunch bar.

 I pretty much gave up on different flavors of protein. I use vanilla, chocolate, and unflavored the most often. And those are easy to find and not much different between brands. I make smoothies in the morning and stick the unflavored in those and anything else. I like the unflavored because it doesnt alter the fruity flavors in my smoothies.

I like the About Time Whey.  It is whey Isolate, all natural. Not too sweet,  to most of them I had to add sweeteners now .

Once I know which one Ilike - I buy them from vitacost.com.

How do you order samples?  I would love to be able to try them before I commit to a huge jar.  I'm kind of brand new at this.  I have all my tests done, just waiting for my date.  :)
Thanks so much for any help!

You can just go to their websites vitalady.com or mybariactricpantry.com or drinkclick.com.  All of these have samples that you can buy and try before you commit to the large expensive tubs of the stuff.  I just went down thru the sample list that vitalady and ordered a ton of them.  There is bound to be something in there I like!
